"most times they are just fragments"

So let's completely ignore all the other times?

Idiots, it's not like they've ever said this is definitively what things looked like. They aren't hiding the fact that this is their best interpretation.

And they can often intuit what the rest of a bone looks like based on similar bones in related species.

This makes me realize that there’s actually been progress: I haven’t heard an acquaintance asking about a missing link to try and disprove evolution for at least a decade. That’s just my experience, but I used to hear it a lot.

Not in my whole life I've ever had anyone voice to me their disapproval of the theory of evolution

God told me to come here and answer, "No."

I thought God communicated through burning bushes - everything's getting enshittified, it seems.

I mean.. Dinosaur depictions changed wildly from when I was little.

But the neat thing about science is that they can admit that their best evidence might be flawed and they will keep working on it when proven wrong.

Religion on the other hand...
